Choosing The Right Window Coverings For Your Home

The same type of window covering may not work for every room in your home - Any window covering has three main tasks: to provide light control, provide privacy and security (if needed), and be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. The trick is to choose the window covering that will provide you with adequate levels of all three for the specific application. Not to mention that certain kinds of window coverings work better in certain rooms. For example, you probably wouldn’t want to install floor-length draperies in your bathroom, or contemporary wood blinds on the window above the kitchen sink. Perhaps the most important thing to remember when choosing window coverings, is to always try to put function before style. It’s helpful to ask yourself two questions: First, how much light do you want coming in through your windows? And second, what level of privacy do you desire? If you’re like most homeowners, you may have a different answer for every room in the house.

Tips for window coverings in the kitchen - When you are installing window coverings in your kitchen, consider taking a minimalistic approach. This means that you should avoid anything that would be too heavy - like draperies. Ideally, the kitchen should be a bright room, with plenty of access to natural lighting. This can be achieved with better blinds, pleated shades, or maybe even roman shades. Any of these will adequately provide light control and privacy, each doing with with a different look and functionality.
